WINDOW-SCREEN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 23,1913.

Application led February 18, 1913. Serial No. 749,192.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Bc it known that I, Cuantas L. KELLY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Santa Fe, in the county of Santa Fc and State of New Mexico, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow- Screens, of which the following is a s ecitication, reference being had therein to tie accompanying drawing.

'l` iis invention relates to window screens, and has for its ob'ect the production of a screen which is adapted to wind and unwind as the sash is raised or lowered.

Another object of this invention is the reduction of a roller containing box which 1s adapted to be laced upon the sill of the window and he d firmly in engagement therewith by means of a plurality of standards.

A still further object is the a roller containin box whici is provided with novel and e cient means for facilitatin the insertion of the roller therein.

Vith these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings1-Figure l is a view in elevation of the window frame and sash showing the roller containing box in longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the roller containing box and the window sash and frame. Fig. 3

reduction off is a view in elevation of the window sash and frame and also the roller containing box showing a portion of the screen member withdrawn therefrom. Fig. 4 is a section similar to Fig. 3 and taken at right angles thereto. Fie'. 5 is a detail perspective of a portion of time roller containing box. Fi 6 is a ierspcctive view of one of the stan nrds. lfig. 7 is a view in elevation of a portion of the band member. Fig. 8 is a section taken on the line 8 8, o f Fig. 7.

Referrin to the accompanying drawings by numeras it will he seen that the device is used in combination with the ordinary window frame 1 and sash 2. The window frame 1 is provided with the usual sill 3 which is adapted to carry the roller containin box. This .roller containing box is provi ed with a plurality of end members 4 and to which the bottom 0, back 7, and to 8 are fixedly secured. The top 8 is provi ed at one side with the longitudinally is placed within the groove 11 and guided Y into the pocket 12. The pintle or journal carries the ordinary spring and roller upon which the screen 18 is rotatably mounted. By use of the socket 1G and the pocket 12 it will be seen that the roller and spring will be held in their correct position within the roller containing box.

The screen 18 passes throu h the slot 10 and is provided with the -shape band member 19 which is clamped upon its outer end. This band member 19 is provided with a lplurality of inverted V-shape openings 20 wiich are adapted to enga e the nails 21 which are carried by the sas i 2. It will be seen that in mounting the screen upon the sash in the manner described when the sash is raised it will unwind the screen and will cover the o )ening caused by raising the window and w1ll in this manner prevent any insects from entering the room. lVhen, however, the window is closed the screen will be wound upon the roller and will in this manner cause the same to be placed entirely out of the way. If, however, it is desired to detach the screen from engagement with the sash the band 19 may be moved u ward at which time the band may be lifte from en agement with the nails 21 and the head wi l pass through the opening 20.

In order to close the front portion of the roller containing box the ends are provided with the vertically extending grooves 22 in which the sliding door 23 is adapted to be positioned.

After the roller containing box has been placed upon thc sill 3 and the outer end of the screen has been mounted upon the sash 2 a vertical standard 24 which is provided with an angular bracket 25 and a retaining bracket 26 is placed upon the upper portion of the roller containing box at.' each end thereof. The angular bracket 25 is then secured to the box by any suitable means and the retaining bracket 26 is fastened to the window frame. By this means it will be seen that the roller containing box will be securely held in position upon the sill and will be prevented from being drawn up when the window is raised.

Whenever it is desired to move the box from the window sill the vertical standard may be disenga ed from the frame by removing the band the sash and the device may be removed from engagement with the window.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is A device of the class described comprisin un elongated housing, said housing rovide with end blocks, one of said bloc s being provided with a transversely -extending groove terminating in a pocket, a metallic reinforcing plnte surrounding said groove 19 from engagement withl and constituting) means for protecting the same, said end locks provided with vertically-extending grooves extending at rightangles to said first-mentioned groove, a top closure plate for said housing provided with a lonvitudinall Y-extending opening, a curtain paced within said housing,a roller supporting said curtain and fitting in said firstinentioned roove, said curtain provided with a rein orced end, said reinforced end provided with tapering apertures adapted to fit over the securing means whereby said curtain may be attached to a window sash.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
